WebKit now includes support for gradients specified in CSS. The syntax looks a bit confusing for us designerly types, but massive kudos to the WebKit team for continuing to embrace the “browser wars” mentality, offering exciting new toys for designers and developers to play with, while at the same time maintaing interoperability with other browsers. Now, if we could just get Opera, Mozilla, and Microsoft on board, we’d probably see some fast and furious innovation in the CSS arena.

Safari is still very uncommonly used even among Mac users. If this could be spread out to the more popular browsers, CSS gradients could be an excellent addition. I know I’ve wanted to use them on many occasions.
